In <90021118332768@masnet.uucp> Calvin Bruner asked for a program, which allows data transfer between Portfolio and ATARI ST using the parallel interface. As far as I know, there is a technical problem that makes it impossible to use the parallel port of the ATARI ST. The Portfolio- interface uses the paper-end signal (I think for handshaking). The pin which should handle this signal is not connected in the ST's parallel port. So I think the only way to use the parallel interface to transfer data between ATARI ST and Portfolio is to write a new transfer program for both computers. I don't know if ATARI is going to write this program.
